#HFS2018

I started this Blog when I first started working with the North Lake College Summer Hawaiian Field Studies course. I knew that in 2 weeks, I would learn so much and I needed a place to document it. I was right. I went back through my pictures when I got home and thought, "Did we stop here? I don't remember this!". So I went back to my Blog and was reminded of that moment. So many great moments, so many great stories...here is where I document them. Please read, enjoy, send me questions, comments, etc.

I will be streaming live using Periscope on my Twitter Page. Follow me @Laronna_D on Twitter and @ldoggett on Instagram

Day 3 - Hula and Volcanoes National Park

We started the day at the Visitors center.  The students got oriented to the Big Island. They then watch the visitor's center video on the history of the island. After that, we went over to the Volcano House to see a different view of the Halemaumau crater.


While the students were in watching the movie, Kate (photography professor) and I went to go check out an art exhibit on Hawaiian culture. We learned that there was Hula lessons around the time we were having lunch. Yep.  Hula lessons in the afternoon.  I has Hula-ing, so no pictures!

Students headed down to the Sulfur Banks to check out...well, the sulfur and to see how it affects plant growth.  No pictures.  I hung back with those that were not too keen on being around the smoke.

On to a new spot. We walked the Mauna Ulu Eruption Trail. Saw some Pele's tears, Pele's Hair, and Lava Trees.



Back to the camp and on to dinner.
